You sigh as you make a big cross with your pen on the math problem you tried for the 3rd time. your eyes feel tired and it feels as if something heavy is put in your gut. Feeling low and dumb, you put your pen down and rest your head on the table as your hands fall into your lap. to make things worse, more people start pouring into the cafeteria, with increasing noise. the library was full so the few students that were left, including you and your friend, decided to study in the canteen but your friend got sick and went home so now u were left here alone trying to make sense out of the numbers and symbols in front of you.
Your head still down, u feel someone pick up your pen and just when youre about to lift your head, they tap your head with the pen and u look up to see Dongmin who sighs with relief. "i knew it was you but i had to make sure. hello!" he says putting down the pen and smiling at you as he pulls out a chair beside u for himself. "hello" u reply wearily "sorry, i forgot u texted me u'll come. im so damn stressed about this" u sigh, flipping the pages of your textbook back and forth in a slightly aggressive manner. "i tried this question 3 times and still didnt get it right... and this is just the 2nd topic! i still have loadss to cover. im not even sure about the one i covered! its as if i forgot it already.." u say as tears well up in your eyes and you blink multiple times and look down to hide them. he knows tho, he saw them. "i understand what u might be going through.. it must be hard" he says with concerned eyes, licking his lips. He pulls the book towards him to take a look at your topics and his eyes narrow as he goes down. his mouth fills with air making him look like a cute balloon but u cant bring yourself to smile with all those knots in your gut, trying not to cry. He looks up at you and u get slightly embarrses realizing you were staring at him. he smiles and says "i know you can do it. ill help you. but first lets go somewhere quiet, hmm? why are you studying here of all places anyways?" u explain to him all that happened earlier but u stutter a few times as u try to control yourself not to break down in public. he sighs and says looking straight into your eyes "unclench your jaw and loosen your shoulders" you do without realizing your jaw had indeed been clenched and u feel the tension melting away slightly as u loosen your shoulders. "breathe in and out and try to relax yourself. if u cant, then u can cry all u want, ill make sure no one else sees. whatever makes u feel better." he says turned in your direction with a serious face, one hand on the back of your chair and one resting on the table making u want collapse in those arms but U compose yourself and it actually helps u feel better.
He packs up your stuff, puts them in your bag and gives it to you. "better?" he asks with a charming smile. the corners of your mouth go up in a weak smile as u nod. u put your bag over your shoulder and he takes your hand. "khaja", he says, standing up and making his way to the entrance with u catching up with his steps. "where are we going? the library is full" u inquire but he doesnt say anything; just looks at you and then he just keeps walking. u pass your classes, the school ground and now youre well out of the school gate. he puts his arm over your shoulder and says "lets study in that cafe over there", he points to a peaceful-looking place. "anywhere is better than the canteen" u reply. By now, u feel alot better than how u did earlier, all thanks to your man, so u hold his hand that is hanging over your shoulder and both of u walk into the cafe finding a good spot and ordering your drinks.
